Kevin Garnett has returned to the NBA … well, in a part-time position.
After retiring as an active player just before this season following a two-decade career, Garnett made a training camp appearance with the LA Clippers. Garnett worked with the Clippers’ big men, and coach Doc Rivers said KG put on a clinic he’d “pay a lot of money to see.”
Apparently, the Clippers are paying KG to see it a little more often.
Future NBA Hall of Famer Kevin Garnett is officially a consultant with the Clippers. He will work out with the Clippers’ big men.

Garnett played for Rivers in Boston for six seasons, where they won the 2007 NBA title. Over 22 NBA seasons, the 7-foot Garnett averaged 17.8 ppg and 10 rpg. The Clippers, who started the season 26-14, have two of the NBA’s best post players in DeAndre Jordan and Blake Griffin, who was spotted getting shots up post-practice today as he rehabs from knee surgery.
Blake Griffin took some shots today at practice.
